Tag: 157 cm height

Medically, dwarfism is defined as an adult height of 147 cm (4'10") or less, and a person's body may also have specific characteristics of a medical condition. A person who is 157 cm tall is above this medical threshold. So, to answer the question, **is 157 cm a dwarf**? No, it is not considered dwarfism based on this standard.

According to the World Health Organization, the global average height for an adult woman is approximately 160 cm, or about 5 feet 3 inches. This context is key to understanding the question, "Is 157 cm short for a woman?", which is more complex than a simple yes or no.
